That'll buff out.

Saved it as a PNG so it will actually load in a web browser.

No wonder your wife hates your car!

I can see why your wife hates your car!

Posted by: SirAndy Dec 2 2011, 04:48 PM

Oh, and what's the VIN? So we can mark it off as "dead" ....

BMP pictures don't load in web-browsers. Save them as JPG or PNG instead ...

Looks like it is still melting/dripping dry underneath from the glacier it was found in. Always nice to have a clean car before you start working on it. java script:emoticon(':woohoo:',%20'smid_62')

Oh, sorry, I'm kinda new. I'l dig the title out, & make sure it gets noted. (yep it actually has a title) Got a week off work, would like to get about three of these to the crusher.

Well, how does it handle?

Posted by: PanelBilly Dec 2 2011, 06:58 PM

It would make a great rat rod...Looks like the rat part is already complete.

Posted by: my wife hates my car Dec 2 2011, 06:59 PM

It was handlin' pretty decent until the trailing arm broke off......and then the door popped out.............that's when it got kinda hard to steer.

I'd rather drive your tractor.

It's just a flesh wound.

HANK! OMG! What happened to HANK!

I was distracted by the avatar. What is this thread about I always liked the farmers daughters.

Posted by: Mark Henry Dec 2 2011, 10:40 PM

You got it out in one piece...so I've bought worse.

Posted by: wingnut86 Dec 2 2011, 10:51 PM

...I think you can salvage that inner sail panel

Brings back memories of Mel Gibson's early days in Road Warrior...before he REALLY lost his mind

I checked the vin # out and this was actually Otzi the Iceman's 914. It broke down on him one day while he was driving through the Alps in a bad snow storm. 5,300 years later, this is what you end up with. The car is not quite as well preserved as the Iceman. FYI Otzi's friends called him Hank.

What a bummer. Nice dash pad though.

Posted by: pdlightning Dec 2 2011, 11:58 PM

Nothing a little bondo can't fix.

It will take a little more time to block sand.

To bad Overhauling is not on any more I would nominate it and then you have someone else rebuild it.

Posted by: RobW Dec 3 2011, 06:39 AM

Overhaulin' or Masochism?

Posted by: JMKnight Dec 3 2011, 07:26 AM

looks like a real easy fix!

Posted by: 513mugsy Dec 3 2011, 07:37 AM

I am guessing that this going to get a full restoration..correct? Looks like all the hard parts are in the trunk. To bad the doors aren't in place...the guy that sold it could of got a few hundred more!! hehehehehe!!

Posted by: sean_v8_914 Dec 3 2011, 08:02 AM

nice view of the inside of a sail panel

Posted by: iamchappy Dec 3 2011, 08:52 AM

I had a guy come to my shop looking for a job one day. I asked where he worked before. He told me he worked at a used car lot. He told me his boss taught him how to hang body filler in mid air!

Posted by: rgalla9146 Dec 3 2011, 09:40 AM

I saw that door and thought NOS too. I bet it still has a part number sticker on it.
Even the rattiest cars often have some treasure hidden in the pile of junk.
